Frequently Asked Questions

PDFs made from text documents typically compress by 10–40%. PDFs created from scanned images or high-resolution photos compress less because the image data is already the dominant part of the file. The result panel shows you exactly how much was saved.

The Medium and High levels remove metadata and annotations — there is no visible quality loss on the page content itself. Image quality inside the PDF is preserved.

Low removes only redundant internal data. Medium also removes metadata and re-encodes streams. High additionally strips annotations. Medium is recommended for most files.

No. You can add as many PDF files as your device's memory allows. Files are merged in the order shown in the list.

No. Pages are copied exactly as they are — no re-encoding, no quality loss. Fonts, images, and formatting are preserved.

Yes. Enter page numbers as a comma-separated list: 1, 3, 7, 10. Ranges are also supported: 1-3, 5, 8-10.

Each page is saved as its own PDF file. Files download one after another automatically. Your browser may ask you to allow multiple downloads — click Allow to proceed.

JPG is best for scanned documents and photos — it gives smaller files with minimal visible quality loss. PNG is best for pages with sharp text, diagrams, or charts where you need pixel-perfect accuracy. PNG files are larger but lossless.

No. The quality slider only applies to JPG output. PNG is always lossless, so the slider is hidden when PNG is selected.

Pages are rendered at 2× scale (144 DPI), producing sharp, high-quality images suitable for printing and presentations. The exact pixel dimensions depend on the page size in the original PDF.

No. Rotation changes the page orientation flag stored in the PDF — no re-encoding happens, so images and text are completely unaffected.

90° rotates pages a quarter-turn clockwise. 180° flips pages upside down. 270° rotates pages a quarter-turn counter-clockwise. All rotations are applied on top of any existing rotation already in the file.

Yes. The output is a standard .docx file with selectable, editable text that opens in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, and LibreOffice. Headings, bold, italic, and lists are preserved.

PDF to Word extracts existing digital text. Scanned PDFs are images of pages with no text layer, so they produce an empty document. Tables, images, and multi-column layouts are also not preserved.
